Hotel Lux's presence became known when they upped sticks from Portsmouth and started hanging around in the usual South London haunts of the Brixton Windmill and The Montague Arms almost a year ago. After securing some decent support slots for the likes of Shame and HMLTD and releasing their debut single as part of RIP Records Introducing series, the band have just dropped another new single called 'The Last Hangman'. The self-produced, moody punk number is described by the band as, "our Ode to Albert Pierrepoint. Pierrepoint was dubbed, although factually incorrect, as the last official executioner of the UK. The song is about the dubious morality of Pierrepoint, the double life he led and his eventual guilt-ridden demise.” -HLMX
